About Me

Hi! I'm Ronnie. This is my resume.

I'm a software engineer from the Bronx. My strengths lie in maintaining complex systems, scaling web platforms, and improving cross-functional workflows. Skateboarding is my favorite debugging tool, and I'm always down to talk about the best dollar slice in NYC.
